A rare hidden gem, this breathtaking property in Fort McCoy offers lakefront living with water on 2 sides! Privacy!!
From Hwy 19 north of Salt Springs in the heart of the Ocala National Forest, the property is secluded, but not remote; 11 minutes to Salt Springs. 30 minutes to Palatka. 50… Read More minutes to Ocala. 60 minutes to Gainesville.
The mile-long drive down a shell road leads unexpectedly to a serene garden setting; 1.12 acres at the end of a quiet lane, beneath a canopy of grand live oaks and pine trees.
There are two parcels here. The rear lot originally had a single-wide mobile home with its own meter, well, and septic tank with drainfield. Its ready for a new single-wide or cute tiny house, which would complete a private family compound! Use it for family retreats or AirBnb when you are not there. The main lot greets the visitor in a park-like setting, with Lake Delancey as a magnificent presence, visible throughout the house.
This 2-bedroom, one bath home offers over 1200 sqft of space, with a bonus area that can be tailored to your needs. The house and workshop are constructed with sturdy block and protected by a durable metal roof. Recent repairs to the metal roof include replacement of all screws and sealing the flashing joints and chimney.
The living room hosts a grand stone fireplace as focal point; a true gathering place for friends, family and maybe even a game night.
The second bedroom doubles as a unique custom office with pecky cypress and built-in desk in semi-circular view, perfect for a home business or to curl up for a good read.
On the lakeside is a generous covered patio with ceiling fans, overlooking the water and sunsets.
There is even a powered workshop for your projects and storage with carport for small vehicles or equipment.
The private dock with built-in seating and table witnesses every sunset, and you’re invited!
Sky and water are big at spring-fed Lake Delancey (830 acres), surrounded by the Ocala Nat’l Forest.
The location offers privacy, nestled in nature with 100 feet of shoreline, and lake access is limited to home owners.
Wildlife abounds; sandhill cranes return every year to the adjacent lagoon to nest.
Year-round fishing and boating or trail riding around the lake are all available in a pristine setting.
The 16-mile Delancey Loops OHV trail system around the lake also accesses other trail systems further north.
This is an astonishing opportunity; with a classic ranch house, ready to be brought forward with modern updates. Bring your creative vision and turn it into a show-piece modern home with truly one of the most spectacular water views in the state of Florida!
A fisherman’s dream, an artist’s inspiration!
